Presence Power Pool could do with a Taunt Aura Toggle

See title. Could maybe replace Intimidate for it (single target fear effect) if you wanted to keep the PP to five powers. 

 

Would be nice for people that want to side-gig as a soaker, like FF Defenders and Scrappers/Sentinels.

So OP power then?  It's not like you can cap defence and then laugh at how much they miss since you are now taunting.  And double the taunt aura for melee? Not a good idea.

You could simply make it so that Taunt Auras don't stack from the same source. And naturally the PP one would be lesser magnitude/max target than the average Tanker/Brute powerset.

 

It's not like there isn't precedence for this being how it would work, considering an AoE click taunt is literally part of the set. It just doesn't get picked much because it's a hassle.

I find the most annoying feature of the Presence pool to be that I can't jump immediately to the last two powers without taking two earlier ones. The single-target Fear isn't a bad power, but it is the one that my toons would prefer to skip on the way to the PBAoE or Unrelenting... because while I don't mind taking one of the three first powers, I typically only use 1 of them.

I have only ever used this power pool on a stalker.  I picked up the fear as a placate like power and then picked up placate on way to unrelenting.  I would love to drop one of those abilities for the aoe fear power.
